HOW A REAL LOCOMOTIVE WORKS

 This is the first children’s book by author William Trombello and I must say it’s very well done. Trombello teaches children how real trains work with colorful illustrations showing different parts of
a locomotive.

In this nonfiction picture book, children learn how much a modern day locomotive weighs, the type of engine a locomotive uses and who developed it, how fast they go, how much power they use, and so much more. As children read, there is a train at the bottom of each page that moves further and further down the track to learning. Children that love trains will want this book. The words are simple enough that beginning readers can read it by themselves and read along with their parents, too.

TRAINS AND REAL LOCOMOTIVES

This is the second book for children written by William Trombello. Children will understand a train’s journey from the time it leaves the repair station to when it arrives at the station. Children will be taken on a journey of knowledge with Engineer Obie, Mechanic Mike, Carl the Carman, and Brakeman Bob. With colorful illustrations, children will see what each part of the train looks like, how it works, and learn what its function is in making the train go. Children will also learn about the different, but important jobs each person has at a train yard and on the train itself.

As children read along, a train at the bottom of each page shows how much they have learned and how much they still have to go on their journey into the world of locomotives.

TRAINS MAGAZINE Review (OCTOBER 2007)

TRAINS AND REAL LOCOMOTIVES

Trombello's second book on locomotives is a great read for a child interested in learning how a locomotive  is prepared for its journeys It provides rudimentary definitions of different types of of locomotives , as well as their parts. Brightly colored illustrations guide the child through Engineer Obie's typical day. 

HOW A REAL LOCOMOTIVE WORKS
